LSU dual rotor flowmeter (hereinafter referred to as flowmeter) is a new generation of volumetric flowmeter, also known as UF - ∥ flowmeter or screw flowmeter. It is a precision instrument used for measuring and controlling liquid flow in pipelines. Widely used in departments such as petroleum, chemical, metallurgical, electric power, transportation, ships, oil depots, docks, tank trucks, etc., it is particularly suitable for measuring flow meters for industrial liquids such as crude oil, refined oil, and light hydrocarbons. The flow meters can indicate on site, read the code directly, and can be distributed with a communicator, output electrical pulse signals, and transmit them remotely to secondary instruments or computers to form automatic control, automatic detection, and data processing systems.
working principle
The spiral rotors of the flowmeter have a pair of special teeth that mesh directly without relative sliding and do not require synchronous gears. Drive the rotor to rotate by the small pressure difference at the inlet and outlet. The following diagram represents a cross-section of a pair of rotors during operation. At the same time, although each rotor experiences different rotational torques from the fluid on the same cross-section, the combined torque of the rotational torques experienced by the two rotors on all cross-sections is equal. Therefore, both rotors rotate at a constant speed and equal torque, with balanced displacement and no pulsation. The spiral rotor can output 8 times the volume of the cavity per revolution, therefore, the rotational speed of the rotor is proportional to the cumulative flow rate of the fluid, and the rotational speed of the rotor is proportional to the instantaneous flow rate of the fluid. The rotational speed of the rotor is transmitted to the meter counter through a magnetic coupling, displaying the flow rate through the flowmeter (flowing through the pipeline).

The advantages of LSU dual rotor flowmeter (compared with other flowmeters)
| NO. | project | LSU dual rotor flowmeter | Other flow meters (Roots flow meter waist wheel flow meter, elliptical gear flow meter) |
| one | Volume advantage (including external dimensions, volume, weight, and construction) | 1. Single structure, simple construction. two Compared to the dual body structure, it has a smaller volume and lighter weight. | Compared to monomers, the structure is more complex. two Compared to single flow meters of the same capacity, it has a larger volume. |
| two | performance advantage 1. The force exerted by the rotor |
The rotor rotates at a constant speed without pulsation, and there is no mutual force between the rotors, with zero tooth surface force. | The inherent torque of the rotor varies greatly depending on the meshing position. Therefore, there is tooth surface force in the interaction between rotors. |
| 2. Internal traffic | Because it is a monolithic structure, and the discharge flow rate of each rotor is quantitative, which means the flow rate is uniform and without pulsation. | Due to the presence of multiple measuring chambers, the discharge flow rates of each rotor are inconsistent. When the fluids are merged, the flow rate appears relatively stable, but in fact, there are inevitable pulsations between the fluids. | |
| 3. Gap area | Because it is a monolithic structure, there are two top gaps and two side gaps. Therefore, the impact on accuracy is very small. | The dual body flowmeter has two top clearances and four side clearances, with a large gap area that greatly affects accuracy. The biggest problem is poor repeatability, and there are also gaps in the meshing part of the rotor. | |
| 4. Pressure loss | The structure is simple, resulting in low pressure loss, high reliability, and long lifespan. | The structure is complex, resulting in significant pressure loss, poor reliability, and short lifespan. | |
| three | Noise (same level product) | Low noise. Example: Below 70dB | The noise is loud. Example: Above 80Db |
| four | vibration | Low vibration. Example: 7u (up and down amplitude) | Large vibration. Example: 30u up and down amplitude) |
| five | synchronizing gear | Adopting a spiral rotor, the meshing ratio is as high as 2 or more, and theoretically, the tooth surface force is zero as mentioned above. Without the need for synchronous gears, it is driven by the motion of the rotor itself, making it simple to construct and easy to maintain. | Due to the meshing ratio of the rotor being below 1, it cannot be transmitted by itself, so it must be transmitted through synchronous gears. This has also caused problems such as complex construction and difficult maintenance. |
| six | maintenance and repair | Simple to construct, compact, lightweight, and easy to maintain. | Complex construction, large size, and heavy weight. Compared to monolithic systems, maintenance and labor costs are higher. |
| seven | Accuracy characteristics | Maintain high precision for a long time and achieve high precision even at low flow rates, with a general factory precision of 0.2 level. | Maintaining high precision for a short period of time, it is difficult to guarantee low flow accuracy. When leaving the factory, the selected accuracy can reach up to 0.2 level. |
| eight | Large traffic range | Compared with other types of volumetric flow meters of the same caliber, the flow rate is 30-40% higher. | The flow range is relatively small. |
| nine | Sending characteristics | Accurate and reliable transmission, uniform instantaneous flow, high transmission frequency, easy to ensure accuracy. | The transmitter sends an average signal, and there is a large error in instantaneous flow rate changes. |
